This monograph, written by Professors A. S. V. Burgen and N. G. Emmelin, provides a comprehensive overview of the physiology, anatomy, and pharmacology of the salivary glands. It includes detailed chapters on the anatomy of the glands, their innervation, pharmacology, and the secretion of saliva. The authors present a well-organized and internationally informed perspective, with extensive references at the end of each chapter. The book is particularly notable for its chapter on theories of salivary secretion, where Burgen challenges the traditional view that the acini are the sole secretory units, citing electrophysiological studies and salivary rest transients. The monograph is written with authority and enthusiasm, making it a valuable resource for both reference and in-depth study. "Experimental Immunochemistry" by Elvin A. Kabat and Manfred M. Mayer is a second edition of a well-known immunological text. It has been significantly expanded, incorporating new research and techniques in immunology and biochemical methods. The book is a comprehensive textbook of chemical immunology, covering topics such as complement, immunological principles, and various biochemical techniques. While it does not delve into cytology or immunopathology in detail, it provides a solid foundation for understanding immunological methods. The book is essential for laboratories using immunological techniques and is highly recommended for its clarity and thoroughness. "Relief of Symptoms" by Walter Model is a practical guide to managing patient discomfort, but it is criticized for its lack of a good index, verbosity, and outdated information. It fails to cover some important conditions and lacks detailed information on certain treatments. "Uveitis and Toxoplasmosis" by E. S. Perkins provides an in-depth analysis of uveitis, including its causes and treatment. It highlights the importance of diagnosing uveitis and the role of various conditions such as sarcoidosis and toxoplasmosis. The book is essential for ophthalmologists and general physicians. "Psychosomatic Aspects of Pediatrics" discusses the increasing role of emotional factors in children's illnesses. It is particularly relevant for pediatricians and child specialists, as it addresses the psychosomatic aspects of childhood diseases.This monograph, written by Professors A. S. V. Burgen and N. G.
